A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 390
EP.390 - President
International Hero Association Headquarters.
President's Office.
"ha..."
There, a tired-looking woman with her hair tied up was sitting in her seat, sighing deeply..
Her identity is the president of the International Hero Association..
She sat down, leafing through the pile of documents with tired eyes..
International Hero Association President.
As the representative who manages the entire hero association with branches around the world, she can be said to be the de facto president of the association presidents..
Currently, I was just sighing in a situation where there was no answer..
"...Is this the end of the association?."
So much so that she muttered forlornly as she put down her papers..
The current situation of hero associations around the world is very bad..
What was creaking from the beginning completely collapsed due to the inflation of talented people and the launch of the villain alliance Catedal..
Now, she is receiving calls from numerous association branches around the world asking for support, but there isn't much she can do..
Because the international association already had neither resources nor power..
'...There are too many villains.'
okay.
The problem was, there were too many villains..
If the number of heroes increases by one per year, does the number of villains increase by a hundred?.
Currently, the number of villains that one hero has to deal with per year is dozens of times that number..
'...Are the abilities of those with abilities mostly only given to evil people??'
To the extent that such doubts arise, the number of villains increased dozens of times faster than that of heroes..
In that situation, when the villains united among themselves and launched Catedal, it became a situation that could no longer be endured..
"phew..."
The president took out a cigarette next to the documents and smoked one..
With a sad expression on his face and a cigarette in his hand, he recalled the past..
In fact, she was not the general association president all along..
As incidents continued to break out around the world, I eventually took full responsibility and stepped down in the middle..
...I thought my successor would do a good job, but in the end he couldn't. After that, after the launch of the Catedal, when the association was on the verge of complete collapse, he hastily called himself again from the board of directors and returned..
Anyway, now the board of directors has almost been disbanded..
In addition, Celeste, the representative of Catedal, and the headquarters of the International Hero Association in the United States, her home base, had been humiliated by numerous threats and had fled to Europe..
Of course, since the headquarters is like this, the command system is a mess, but in reality, the associations in each country are trying to survive on their own..
In a situation where there were associations that had already been completely taken over by Cattedal, she was just looking for things she could do today....
"ha..."
support.
She flicked her cigarette into the ashtray and sighed..
This was not the time to just lament. Because the next appointment was right around the corner..
"...see."
Next appointment. It was a meeting with the president of the Korea Hero Association..
...It was a person I had heard of. Because he was appointed by himself. 1st generation... anyway.
Why did he ask to see me? I know Korea is holding on well on its own..
When she was thinking like that.
smart.
When the knock rang, she thoughtlessly asked him to come in..
While holding the document in his hand, the president looked up and saw what he saw:.
"haha. hello."
...She was a completely unexpected person.
Wearing a black hat, black cloak, and white half-mask..
The president is a character so characteristic that even she recognizes him..
Egostick, Korea’s S-class villain.
appeared in front of her.
***
"....."
president of the association.
"Hmm. This place is also very old.."
She opened her mouth, looking at the villain sitting calmly in front of her with a stern expression on his face..
"...Ego stick. You are Korea's S-class villain and the de facto vice president of Catedal. why did you come to me?"
"Whoa. You already knew that far. As expected, the reputation of the President of the Hero Association does not seem to be going anywhere.."
Seeing him raising his eyebrows at himself, the president thought quietly to himself..
ego stick.
She already knew him.
He was once a Class A villain in Korea and was the only Class A person to participate in Catedal, which was a simple meeting at the time..
According to the information I obtained with difficulty, I heard that he is now in fact the powerful person next to Celeste, wielding great power over Catedal..
As such, the investigation into him has already been completed..
'A person whose thoughts are unknown.'
Actually ego stick. Looking at his actions in Korea, it was embarrassing to even call him a villain..
Although they always committed terrorist attacks, virtually no casualties occurred each time. If you think about it, the number of times he saved the Republic of Korea was comparable to terrorism. Therefore, even though he is a villain, he is very popular among Koreans..
but.
'...If so, there is no explanation.'
To say he wasn't a villain, his network was too tightly intertwined with other villains. Atlas, who is considered one of the top three villains, and even Celeste are said to have strong faith in him..
In particular, it is said that he is active in conquering the world as an operational staff member in Cattedal, so he is more of a villain than anyone else..
However, considering his actions in his country, he was closer to a hero..
That's why the conclusion she came to is a person whose thoughts I don't know..
However, there was no doubt that he was a key figure with tremendous ability. ...Because the association was practically nameless, I couldn't touch it..
Anyway, he came to see me.
...Although I was nervous about the villain being in front of me, the important thing as the president of the association was not to lose my composure..
Whatever it was, the fact that he came to visit could have been a good variable in a situation where the association was already at a loss..
'By any chance, betraying Celeste and joining this side?...'
"Anyway, I think it will be faster if we do this. It's not a betrayal or anything like that, so don't think anything strange.."
Just when she was thinking that, he somehow read her mind and said that with a smile..
"...Huh. Anyway, so why did you come to see me? And that too by impersonating the president of a Korean association.."
At her question, Ego Stick smiles..
Soon he met her eyes and opened his mouth in a low voice..
"Because, President. I'm here to warn you.."
"under. warning? Be aware of this. No matter what threats you make, we will never give in and fight to the end...."
"ha ha ha. No, no, that's not what I'm saying. ...More than that, it's a fundamental story.."
An egotist who waves his hand to stop her from getting angry and says that..
Then he opened his mouth with a hard look on his face..
"...I'm talking about the destruction of the world.."
"what?"
...What on earth is this villain talking about?.
When the president frowned like that, Egostick smiled and opened his mouth..
"First of all, how much do you know about God??"
***
"...therefore."
After he finished talking.
The president of the association held his head, which was pounding harder than before, and then opened his mouth..
"...The god of light, that is, the sun god, is trying to destroy this world. And soon I will warn everyone about it in person. Is that the sound??"
"yes. You understood correctly.."
"...This is ridiculous. So, what is the reason you told me this? Everyone is going to die, so tremble and wait.?"
Looking at the president saying that in an annoyed voice with a cigarette in his mouth.
I laughed and answered like this.
"What is waiting for? We have to fight back."
"what..?"
Hero Association Headquarters Building 2, located on the outskirts of Europe.
There, in the president's office, I was sitting across from him and saying that..
"...Your leader, Celeste. Isn't she a fanatical believer in the God of Light? But what, she said she would fight back?"
"what. If God goes crazy and tries to kill us all, should we just say goodbye and die? Whether it's faith or something, we have to fight first.."
"...you. Celeste knows you're here.?"
"I do not know."
"I guess so."
Phew.
Watching her take another cigarette with a frustrated look on her face, I smiled and said,.
"Don't worry. Celeste will follow me anyway. And, I have thought of all sorts of ways to stop God. So you don't have to worry about that.."
"...Then why did I come here??"
"Why?."
After God declares destruction, the world will fall into chaos..
And if we don't stop it, the world will destroy itself..
"So, let us declare that we will form an alliance then. With the association, with the cathedral. They told the people that the two alliances would join forces to fight against God.."
That's exactly what I thought.
fateful day.
The announcement is made quickly, before people even understand the situation. Psychotic aliens who call themselves gods are attacking Earth. The association and Catedal will work together to counter this at least this time..
The plan is to maintain society by making people feel safe..
[everyone! Earth is safe. It was said, “Everyone, please engage in your work with peace of mind.”.
So, in response to my suggestion that heroes and villains unite to prevent the destruction of God,.
The president looked at me suspiciously..
"Should I believe this??"
"...no. This is not a trap. You don't think that we're going to create a being called God and turn it around as soon as we form an alliance through a play of manipulation.?"
"hmm. Do you have any mind reading skills? I know that such ability does not exist yet.."
"under..."
I sighed as I looked at the president of the association saying that, then stood up and opened my mouth..
The tail was slowly getting longer and it was time to leave before I got stepped on..
"what. Anyway, soon that day will come and you will find out who is right. So, please accept our alliance request right away. ah. It would be good to hold a press conference right away.."
Even after hearing the voice of God echoing throughout the world, no one would think it was a play..
Is God like that?.
"Well... I'll think about it. but."
Just before I leave.
The president thought for a bit, then looked up at me and said:.
"...Assuming what you say is right. After God's declaration, it seems like there are only a few days left before he causes destruction.?"
To her question.
I turned my back and said without making eye contact with her..
"6months."
Exactly half a year after God's warning.
the world is destroyed.
